ghc-pkg should check for existence of extra-libraries
In #3930 (closed) we decided that all extra-libraries should be found either on the system search path or the paths in the package's library-dirs field. We should make ghc-pkg check this when registering a package - it can use gcc -print-search-dirs to get the system search path.
